Buzz!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hmmm,” I raised my eyebrows upon hearing the notification.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I don’t have friends.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It must be Master Austin or Ann.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then I read the message.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>My expression couldn’t help but change.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The person who contacted me was the Faction Leader.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Suddenly, I thought of something important.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It must be about the purple lightning resources that Master spoke about,” I said in my heart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then I immediately stood up and went to freshen up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>About 20 minutes later, I’m on my way to the meeting hall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the way, I came across other warriors.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They were all discussing something when they saw me.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I knew the reason behind it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The challenge post reply could have been seen by them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shortly afterwards, I arrived at the meeting hall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The guard let me inside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When I arrived at the main door, I opened it to walk inside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I found that the Faction Leader and the Main Elders were inside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So I closed the door before reaching the middle of the hall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone’s gaze fell on Zack Lockwood.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Austin sighed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He thought the Faction Leader would scold Zack Lockwood.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ann didn’t know what to say.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But she decided to interfere if the Faction Leader wanted to punish her disciple.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Main Elders Leola and Cathy said nothing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But their gazes were penetrating.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You, when did you breakthrough?” Faction Leader Clifford uttered in shock.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“General Rank Early Stage!” Cathy exclaimed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing that, Leola and Ann noticed Zack Lockwood’s body cultivation as well.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It’s true.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His body strength is Early General Stage,” Leola said with surprise.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Among them, the most surprised was Main Elder Ann.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She thought it must have something to do with Austin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She was glad that her disciple was able to increase his strength.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“With the Ancient healing method, he can protect himself,” she thought.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Austin revealed a helpless smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Old man Clifford was about to scold Zack Lockwood, but Zack Lockwood’s body strength had caught everyone off guard.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What’s going on?” Old man Clifford’s gaze fell on Austin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not only him, but others looked at him as well.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Ha…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ha…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ha…, I knew I can’t hide it,” Austin said with a small laugh.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then he talked about his encounter when he had checked Late Rupert’s storage ring.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then he told everyone how Zack Lockwood had used the Thousand Refining Dark Fruit to reach the Early General Stage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gasp!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A small exclamation sounded in the room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This time even Leola gasped as well.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>How could one have back-to-back encounters?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zack Lockwood had not only used the Body Sacred Fruit; now he had another opportunity to use the Essence Sacred Fruit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Sigh!” “No wonder you agreed to that Dark Variant Faction kid’s challenge,” old man Clifford said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing that, I immediately understood that Master Austin hadn’t told them before.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They were surprised to see me.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Austin, now I understand why you wanted Zack Lockwood to accept the challenge.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With his current strength, he can easily win against the kid,” Leola said with a little envy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>How come her own disciples weren’t this fortunate?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cathy felt envious as well.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But they both understood Zack Lockwood’s situation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Their disciples were safe compared to Zack.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Their lives weren’t under any threat to the level of Zack Lockwood.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With that, they could find some relief.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Thankfully, Dean Jerome had given me this storage ring,” After saying that, old man Clifford took the black ring out from his storage ring and passed it to Zack Lockwood.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then he started explaining the storage ring’s functions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I received the storage ring and looked at its simple black design.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I was impressed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I used blood to recognize myself as the master.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then I wore it on my left finger.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As I started to hear about the storage ring’s function, my heart set off storms.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I looked at the ring in my left hand in disbelief.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When the Faction Leader finished saying everything, I was amazed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It can not only hide my strength from the Red Mark Warrior, but it can also block attacks from the Red Mark Warrior three times,” I said in my heart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Main Elders were once again surprised.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They had heard it before.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But after seeing the ring in reality, they felt the ring was much more valuable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Zack, don’t tell anyone about this.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It’s a Red Mark Warrior Ring.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It’s not easy to get.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even those half-step Red Mark Warriors might not have one, let alone the Purple Mark Warriors,” Austin said in a serious tone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Don’t worry, Master.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I won’t tell anyone,” I replied.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Okay, since you have agreed to the challenge, how are you going to fight?” Old Man Clifford asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“We fought in the arena duel last time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It will be the same this time,” I answered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Arena duel, huh?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Good,” Clifford replied.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Don’t show off your body strength at first.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If possible, try defeating him using essence cultivation alone,” he reminded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Okay,” I replied.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Good.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>You can go back now,” Old Man Clifford said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing that, I nodded at everyone before leaving.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Old man Clifford said, “We have to keep an eye on him during the duel.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There is a possibility that someone from the Dark Variant Faction might interfere.” “We should not let something like that happen,” he added.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone agreed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then they spoke about a few other things before ending the meeting.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meanwhile, The news of Zack Lockwood’s acceptance had spread across the University.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When the Dark Variant Faction Leader and Main Elders heard it, Their faces were full of smiles.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No one noticed their conspiracy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, they weren’t even considering the possibility of Zack Lockwood’s defeat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They had full confidence that Zack Lockwood would win.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If Ronnie Seth learned this, he would be shocked to the core.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the other hand, the other top factions were closely following the news as well.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Especially the two Bloodline Factions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These two Bloodline Factions had always wanted to replace the positions of the Thunderflame Faction and Dark Variant Faction among the Top 10 Factions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet they had failed to do so.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Recently, the Blazing Fire Faction was stirring up some noise, which annoyed them even more.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The duel between Ronnie Seth and Zack Lockwood would be a motivating factor for the warriors of the same rank.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Especially for those in the Bloodline Factions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The following day, After getting ready, I left the residence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>My training yesterday helped me control my General Rank Strength.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As per the Faction Leader’s advice, I’m not going to use my body strength.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I will try to use the abnormal power of purple lightning to defeat Ronnie Seth once again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With that plan, I started walking towards the exit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>While walking, I noticed there were a few warriors on the path.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Don’t tell me they went to the arena,” I said in my heart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then I continued my walk.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I couldn’t help but think about Ronnie Seth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I wondered whether he had any breakthroughs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shortly afterwards, I walked out of the Thunderflame Faction Territory and headed towards the Outer Hall’s Duel Arena.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meanwhile, The Duel Arena was filled with people.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Most of them were from the Outer Hall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All the factions had come here as well, from the top ten to the medium and small-sized factions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zack Lockwood had created an amazing story recently.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not only did he gain the name of Rising Star after defeating a number of warriors in the same rank, His identity as Main Elder Austin’s disciple was also revealed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before that news could sink in, everyone heard the news that Zack Lockwood was attacked by a Gold Mark Warrior’s Coercion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zack Lockwood not only survived that attack; after his discharge, he straight away accepted the challenge post.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>People couldn’t help but admire his recent feats.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If it were others, they would have been low-key, especially if a Gold Mark Warrior was after their life.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Zack Lockwood had come out of that quickly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the arena building, the top of the viewing deck was filled with faction leaders and main elders.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There were four viewing decks.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Thunderflame Faction Leader and Main Elders were in one of those decks.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Dark Variant Faction people were on the opposite deck.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The viewing decks on both sides were occupied by the other Top 10 Factions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Among the top 10 factions, the elemental factions stayed together, and the two Bloodline Factions sat together.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The medium and small-sized factions occupied considerable seats in the arena.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Old man Clifford couldn’t help but smile looking at the atmosphere.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I never thought for one Outer Hall warrior’s duel there would be this crowd,” he said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“People are more interested in finding out how Zack survived from the Gold Mark Warrior’s coercion,” Cathy said with a smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“We know that it’s all because of Main Elder Ann and you guys.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I heard that kid used a calming mind pearl as well,” Old Man Clifford replied.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“My disciple should be thanking his physique as well.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He is also cultivating the ancient healing method.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Both of them combined give him chances of survival,” Ann said all of a sudden.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Let’s hope no one finds out today,” Austin said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Leola smiled as well.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>CREATORS’ THOUGHTS Aravind_S Your gift is the motivation for my creation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Give me more
